Two Afghanistan Journalist allegedly detained and severely beaten for covering Women Protests in Kabul, Human Rights watch said

On Tuesday, Taqi Daryabi and Nemat Naqdi of the Kabul-based media outlet Etilaat-e Roz were allegedly detained and attacked by the Taliban Security Forces. The reporters were covering women’s protests in Kabul who were demanding an end to Taliban violations of women’s and girls’ rights.
Taliban authorities allegedly brought the two guys to a police station in Kabul, separated them into different cells, and severely beaten them with cables, according to Etilaat-e Roz. Both guys were discharged on September 8 after receiving treatment for injuries to their backs and faces at a hospital.
Zaki Daryabi, editor-in-chief of Etilaat-e Roz, said: “Two of my colleagues from who were detained by Taliban, beaten for four hours.” He added: “Under constant and brutal torture of the Taliban, the reporters lost their consciousness four times,” the Sky News reported.
According to Human Rights Watch, Taliban officials detained Wahid Ahmadi, a Tolonews photojournalist, on September 7 and released him the same day. They took his camera and made it impossible for other journalists to cover the protest.
On Saturday, women marched across Kabul for the second day in a row, asking that their liberties be safeguarded under the new Islamist administration. The Taliban have promised to preserve women’s rights according to Islamic law, but supporters fear a reversal after two decades of female employees joining formerly all-male bastions like as the media, court, and politics.
The Taliban on Tuesday announced an interim Cabinet stacked with veterans of their hard-line rule, with no women or former political figures.
